Positives: Instinctive and plays faster than he times. Good movement skills. Physical and likes contact. Runs the alley, fits in the run game and packs a punch - square-up, drive-through tackler with striking ability. Shows burst to close. Played with more urgency as a senior and left his stamp on games. Smart, vocal on-field leader. Serves as a coach on the field and can line them all up - a coach's favorite. Very sound character.

Negatives: Shows some tightness in his hips - rigidity is exposed in man coverage. Inconsistent breaking down and tackling in space. Average size, speed, athletic ability and explosiveness. Average hands and ball skills. Lacks bulk, and long-term durability could be an issue given his size and aggressive playing style.

Summary: Confident, competitive, instinctive, downhill box safety with starter potential and physicality that belies his size. Will help on special teams immediately and would fit best in an aggressive scheme in which he could hunt the ball, such as that of the Panthers, Broncos, Jets, Rams or Chargers.
